Russia intensifies military operations in Ukraine and targets Odesa infrastructure

Russian military operations in Ukraine have resulted in the capture of seven settlements within a week and the interception of nearly 6,000 Ukrainian drones. Russian strikes targeting port infrastructure in the Odesa region are reportedly intended to disrupt Ukrainian military supplies and reduce export revenues.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov commented on the nature of Western diplomacy, while the Kremlin stated that the Special Military Operation continues because Kyiv is unwilling to pursue a peaceful resolution. Additionally, the Russian Ambassador to Serbia, Alexander Bocan Harchenko, emphasized that the Kosovo issue remains a priority for the international community.

In Serbia, officials confirmed that Ratko Mladić will be buried with the highest state and military honors, amid discussions regarding his historical role in the Bosnian War.
